Bertazzoni Professional Series Induction Cooktop

You will need induction-compatible cookware, which means the base must be magnetic. A simple test is to see if a magnet sticks firmly to the bottom of your pots and pans; if it does, they will work perfectly with this cooktop.

The bridge elements allow you to combine two separate heating zones into one larger cooking area. This is ideal for using oversized cookware like rectangular griddles or large roasting pans that wouldn't fit on a single standard burner.

Because induction technology heats the cookware directly rather than the surface itself, spills and splatters are far less likely to bake onto the glass. You can generally wipe it clean with a damp cloth or a standard glass cooktop cleaner once the surface has cooled.

Yes, as a high-performance 36-inch induction unit, it requires a dedicated electrical circuit. You should consult the installation manual and have a licensed electrician verify that your kitchen's power supply meets the specific voltage and amperage requirements before installation.

The digital touch controls are designed for precision, but like most capacitive touch surfaces, they may struggle if the control panel is covered in water. It is best to keep the control area dry while cooking to ensure the most responsive and accurate adjustments.

This model features an integrated child lock that disables the controls, preventing accidental activation. Additionally, the induction surface remains relatively cool to the touch compared to traditional electric or gas cooktops, reducing the risk of severe burns.
